Title: Allocating storage space based on an the distance to the storage device and the write performance of the device
Inventor: UCHIDA KOSUKE
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2010-04-08
Abstract: A storage controller manages storage areas, such as logical volumes, on storage devices, such as disc drives, for a number of computer systems, such as servers. A computer system requests a specific quality level for a storage area. The storage controller determines the write speed of the storage devices and the distance of the devices from the controller, and uses these to calculate a quality index for each storage area. The controller then allocates to the computer system a storage area which has a quality index which matches the requested quality level. The quality index may also be calculated using the frequency of use of the storage device. The controller may also take into account the size of the storage area and the amount of space requested by the system.

Inventor: HUNT JEFFREY H
IPC: H04B10/10
Filed: 2010-10-21
Abstract: The present invention provides means for converting between freespace optical communication signals and RF signals. A non-linear mixing medium is used to convert optical signals received on an optical telescope to radio frequency (RF) signals for forwarding to a user. This obviates an electrical-optical conversion step. Similarly, RF signals from a user are converted to optical or Terahertz signals for transmission on an optical or Terahertz freespace link. Paragraph 21 of the application might hint at providing RF communications in parallel with optical freespace communications in addition to providing RF communications in series with optical communications, as referred to above. The applicants describe their apparatus as "a combination optical telescope and RF receiver/transmitter for receiving and transmitting signals at multiple wavelengths".

IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2011-11-17
Abstract: Method of operating a heterogeneous computer system 100 comprising performance processor 120 with local bus 134, processor supporting logic (chipset) 162, hypervisor processor 110 consuming less power than the performance processor, and bridge logic 140 connecting the hypervisor processor to the supporting logic via said local bus.

After booting up, the hypervisor processor 110 executes tasks that it has sufficient processing power to handle and puts the performance processor 120 to a power-conserving state. The hypervisor processor 110 brings the performance processor 120 out of power-conserving state to execute tasks that it has insufficient processing power to handle. Performance 120 and hypervisor 110 processors simultaneously execute tasks that require combined processing power. Processors 110 and 120 can be an ARM (RTM) and x86 processors, respectively, and can be on the same semiconductor chip or at different locations. The hetero-processor system 100 delivers green computing and provides smart phones access to existing x86 application software base while sustaining at least one full-workday on battery.

Title: Encoding and Decoding Information Representing Prediction Modes
Inventor: FRANCOIS EDOUARD
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2012-01-09
Abstract: Information representing a prediction mode (one of a plurality) for encoding a current image portion by intra coding is encoded. A current image portion prediction mode value (PMV) is compared with reference, or most probable, PMVs derived from modes of reference image portions to determine an encoding process from among a plurality to encode the information. If the current portion PMV is different from the reference PMVs, the former is compared with a further PMV. An encoding process is selected based on the further comparison, which may constitute encoding information representative of the current portion PMV. Also disclosed is deriving a first reference PMV based on the PMV of a single reference image portion, and comparing the PMV of the current portion with at least the first reference PMV to determine a process to encode the mode information of the current portion from among a plurality. A method of representing mode information by an angular index representing the angular direction of the current image portion prediction mode is disclosed. If the value of the current portion is different from reference angular indexes values, the determined encoding process comprises encoding the angular index value of the current portion.
